The injuries of Facundo Isa and Matías Moroni should not stop the march of The Pumas that, despite being two sensitive casualties within the team, the Argentine squad still has five of the six matches for the current season of the Rugby Championship 2021. What options do you have Mario Ledesma in the face of the next commitments both in the third row and between the backs?
The head coach will communicate in the next few hours the line-up for the second test against the Springboks in South Africa, later the confrontations will also come in duplicate before New Zealand and Australia.
After announcing the dismissal of the selected from Facundo Isa due to a sprain in his right knee with an injury to the external ligament complex, the santiagueño will return to France to start recovery. This way, The Pumas will lose one of the highest points and breakthrough generator in the fall to the Boks last weekend in the debut of the Rugby Championship 2021.
Great opportunity will be presented to the youth Juan Martín González, Joaquín Oviedo and Francisco Gorrissen to be taken into account by Mario Ledesma, beyond Rodrigo Bruni and Pablo Matera who were the headlines in the third line last Saturday next to Facundo Isa. Also, within the campus there is Thomas Lezana and, even though the coach is using it as a second line, Marcos Kremer he is a good candidate to return to his original position in the Argentine national team.
On the other hand, the loss was also known for at least three or four weeks of Matías Moroni, product of a tear in the right quadriceps. The multifunctional back who started as a wing against South Africa, also fulfills when he has to play center, his natural position.
Given the impossibility of being on the court of the player emerged from CUBA, The Pumas count on Santiago Chocobares (both starters at the last engagement in Port Elizabeth), Juan Cruz Mallía and Matías Orlando (still recovering from injury) to cover jersey 12.
If we analyze the options that Ledesma has to fill the position of wing, Lucio Cinti (which can also fulfill the role of center), Sebastián Cancelliere, Marcos Moneta, Emiliano Boffelli, Mateo Carreras, Santiago Carreras, Santiago Cordero, Bautista Delguy and Ignacio Mendy They are the names that the coach has when deciding the 23 that he will put on the court.
Doubts will soon be dispelled when the Argentine head coach confirms the initial alienation that next Saturday he will take to the field in Port Elizabeth to face the second date of the Rugby Championship against the Sprignboks.
